Self-assembly and self-organization are fundamental principles that govern the formation of complex structures and functions across biological systems. This workshop will explore how these processes emerge in nature, how they contribute to the organization of life, and whether similar behaviors can be replicated in engineered systems. By bringing together perspectives from biology, chemistry, and physics, ... Read more

“Selective targeting and biological barriers” will focus on ways to deliver therapies to otherwise inaccessible sites (BBB, lungs, biofilms). More information is coming soon.

In this second workshop, we will explore how humanized and bioengineered models can replace 2D cultures and murine models to better understand and replicate rare disorders. The goal is to examine the latest approaches for studying rare diseases in personalized human models. The opening seminar will feature Juanma Fernández from IBEC's “Biosensors for Bioengineering” group. ... Read more
